Somethin’s shakin on Aries Street so get on down and see what’s happening in that piece of your astrology pie. Mars and Uranus are conjoined at 8 degrees Aries and the sparks of innovation should be dancing everywhere. These two planets are made for each other simply because they both represent aspects of ambition, impulse, and innovation. Mars rules Aries and is the embodiment of action, ambition, aggression and impulse. This is a spark that charges forward with little regard for second guesses. When you combine that with the lofty and electric Uranus you have a recipe for innovation and invention unlike any other. It was on March 11, 2011 when Uranus first stepped into Aries for the first time since 1927, and we witnessed the tsunami in Japan. While we don’t know what nature has in store, we should not run to fear for the same potential exists for positive events as well. That brings us to the Sun and Venus who are both touching the Aries Point, the spotlight trigger for fame and public notice. They bring a lightness that transcends and perhaps lifts the dialog to a higher level.

This powerful alignment brings all of these planets (eventually) into a square with Pluto. As we know Pluto in Capricorn has been refurbishing and redecorating many aspects of our world. Pluto rebuilds, first, by tearing down. We have witnessed many major corrections throughout our society and the planet in general. We can expect more of these types of revelations and realignments going forward. They are sometimes unpleasant but they are necessary; so in the end they do serve us. The one word that comes to mind is potential. We have enormous potential since that is the embodiment of action and motion. How do we use that buzzing potential? Where do we put our ideas and intentions? These are times of revolution and innovation, so we must utilize them as such and move to a brighter place.

True astrology comes from accuracy. When you know the exact details of your chart, you get the instructions for your own particular journey. These are the instructions. Like an operators manual. Using birth date, place and time you see where the action is in your life. Accurate, predictable, validating, in short, astrology works. I have been working with charts and the planets for years and the timing and action is real and validating beyond belief. Listen each week to “Turning of the Wheel” on Contact Talk Radio at 11:00 AM.
